He finished his junior season with 27 tackles, an interception and a fumble recovery. He starred on a defense that allowed just 119 points in 11 games. He also played wide receiver for the 8-3 Trojans.

Daphne coach Kenny King, a former standout at Alabama and in the NFL, has said he believes Williams has the speed to play corner and the size to play safety depending on what a college needs.

Murphy senior Maurice Robinson, who played quarterback for the Panthers, committed over the weekend to play at Grambling State.

Robinson likely will play safety there.

"I think that suits him," Murphy coach Muskingum Barnes said. "Maurice is a guy who could play corner, safety or receiver. He's a talent. It's just a matter of him getting up there and working with the coaches to learn the craft and get better at it."

Eli Powell headed to Faulkner

Baldwin County QB Eli Powell has committed to NAIA Faulkner University in Montgomery. Powell fought through an injury as a senior to help lead the Tigers to a 7-3 record. In Montgomery, he'll join an Eagles team led by new head coach Shayne Wasden.

"Coach Wasden has told Eli he could immediately come in and compete for the starting job," Baldwin County coach Nathan McDaniel said. "They love what he has done, love the fact that he came off an injury and still had a good year. Eli is a competitor, and he just wanted to go somewhere where he'll have a chance. It's a good fit for him."

McDaniel also said offensive lineman Tyler Jernigan has turned down several scholarship opportunities to walk on at South Alabama, while CB D.J. Lampkin has committed to Millsaps.
